Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. And new research suggests that happiness might influence【C1】________firm’s work, too.
Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper.【C2】________, firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That’s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking【C3】________for making investments for the future.
The researchers wanted to know if the【C4】________and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would【C5】________the way companies invested. So they compared U.S. cities’ average happiness【C6】________by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.
【C7】________enough, firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were【C8】________. But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities【C9】________why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researchers controlled for various【C10】________that might make firms more likely to invest—like size, industry, and sales—and for indicators that a place was【C11】________to live in, like growth in wages or population. The link between happiness and investment generally【C12】________even after accounting for these things.
The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors【C13】________to "less codified decision making process" and the possible presence of "younger and less【C14】________managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment." The relationship was【C15】________ stronger in places where happiness was spread more【C16】________. Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness inequality.
【C17】________this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least【C18】________at that possibility. It’s not hard to imagine that local culture and sentiment would help【C19】________how executives think about the future. "It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and【C20】________R&D more than the average," said one researcher.

C
解析
本题考查连接词辨析。本连接词所引导的句子是一个宾语从句,作动词influence的宾语成分。之前的句子意思为“新的研究揭示快乐可能会影响”,而本连接词引导的从句义说的是“企业的运作”,从前后文的意思衔接判断本连接词应该选择C项how(如何),即“新的研究揭示快乐可能也会影响企业如何运作”,只有这个意思才讲得通。其他三个选项与原文的前后句无法达成通顺的意思。A项why(为何)所表达的是“新的研究揭示快乐可能也会影响企业为何运作”;B项where(何地)所表达的是“新的研究揭示快乐可能也会影响企业在哪里(何地)运作”;D项when(何时)所表达的是“新的研究揭示快乐可能也会影响企业何时运作”,这三个意思显然无法使前后句的意思顺畅,均予以排除。
